An audit of the use of anxiety disorder specific measurements (ADSM) in an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service.

  • Applicant: Anna Tharia
  • Project ID: 15-079

IAPT and NICE guidelines state that anxiety specific disorder measures (ADSMs), should be used with clients who present with specific anxiety disorders, such as social phobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, to aid assessment and track changes in patients’ presenting difficulties. The current rate of use of ADSMs at Southwark Psychological Therapies Service is unknown. This project will audit the rate of use of ADSMs for the service.
